Betas

Here you will find other lovers of fanfiction willing to help make your work the best it can be. They are all eager to read Spike/Angel and have been listed for this pairing specifically.

There is really no excuse for not taking the time to get a beta on a short fic (I mean anything under 30 pages). We all understand it can be hard to find a beta for a series, I will use Ensouled as an example, which is over 200 pages in 10 pt font and forced me to be my own worst enemy.

It can be hard, but look at all these lovely people who are just dying to let you know what they think...In return you can let me know what you think of their services when they're done by sending me an e-mail.

If you are yourself dying to be a beta reader and see all the newest fiction before it hits the shelves email me your name, address, strengths, wills, wont's, and wannas, just remember if you send me an email with horrible spelling you won't be listed until you correct it :)

Reads: Anything going, except songfic, and overly fluffy stuff, any pairing except Riley/-, dark stuff and NC-17 welcome...

Looks for/Strengths: Spikespeak (I have the same accent anyway),

Technical slash stuff (surrounded by gay friends, so have learnt such things!), grammar, spelling (allegedly my best academic strength), canon stuff.

Dislikes: Songfic, wrongly fluffified characters and Riley!

Turn around time:Depends on my work load/internet access but often I can turn stuff over in a day, the longest would be a week - generally though, I'm fairly fast.

Notes:Just say how you want it beta-d - just grammar etc, or just plot, just character - if you want something particularly well-considered just say, and if you are a little fragile about comments and that, say that as well (I can be blunt!) :)

Reads: Anything and everything. Prefers Dark Fic, NC-17, character death, Bloodplay, incest, anything sick and wrong

Looks for/Strengths: Will help with canon, slang, grammar, spelling and plot.

Weakness: If I get bored it takes longer to read, ideas not my strongest side.

Turn around time: From one day to two weeks, depending on length, longer if I get bored.

Looks for/Strengths: Anything and everything. Plot flow, characterization, grammar, spelling,you name it I do it.

Turn around time: Usually within a day or two, depending on what's going on.

Looks for/Strengths: Grammar, punctuation, characterization, plot.

Looks for/Strengths: Ambiguous plot gaps, changing view mid-sentence, grammar, spelling.

Notes: I tend to be rather blunt so don't take it the wrong way if I am rather harsh. I will never flat out flame a person, That's about it.

Reads: Preferred pairing is S/A or S/X but as long as it's Spike and someone I'll read it, slash only though. I love Angst, violence, drama sex etc. so all NC17 is more than welcome.

Dislikes: I'm not keen on fluff and silliness but I'll read if there's also some smut.

Looks for/Strengths: Spike-Speak accuracy, from the same part of England as Spike.

Turn around time: Any length is fine with me and it shouldn't take more than 2-3 days, though if the fic is extremely long it may take longer.

Notes: Please mark all emails Beta in the subject line, so they don't accidentally get deleted.

Reads: You write it I read it... but slash, and violent slash make me very...very... happy.

Turn around time: Any length but my turnaround isn't as fast as I would like.

Looks for/Strengths: I consider myself useful with spelling and historical details...

Reads: Anything with a plot, preferably slash or fanged four.

Dislikes: Songfic, if you send it to me, I'll send it back without the lyrics. If it can't stand alone without them you need to rewrite it. I will not read any Male-preg either, I mean who thinks of this stuff?

Looks for/Strengths: I'll get your pop culture and obscure references, I'm in love with my spell checker, and I have every episode of Buffy and Angel on tape or DVD so I will check your canon.

Turn around time: Usually within a week, depends on my homework schedule. Much faster in Summer when I have no classes.

Notes: Don't expect to be coddled, I will give you changes, always, be ready and grateful.

Dislikes: Not overly into Angel having total and complete bondage over Spike w/out a ray of hope on the horizon

Looks for/Strengths: grammer mistakes, description, sentance/paragraph structure

Notes: Wants smutty goodness, though I do like a little plot thrown in. I'm kinda interested in a wholesome 3-some w/ Xander
